Congressman Greg Steube, representing Florida's 17th district since 2019, has made several public statements regarding his stance on government spending and international aid. A graduate of the University of Florida with a background in law, Steube is vocal about his political views and legislative priorities.
On February 6, 2025, Congressman Steube announced that he would be "Joining @CarlHigbie on @Newsmax shortly to discuss my plan to abolish USAID. Make sure to tune in!" This statement indicates his intention to discuss plans related to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The following day, February 7, 2025, he highlighted specific expenditures he deemed wasteful. He noted that "$400,000 wasted in 2021 on sensitivity trainings in Nigeria for local and state police." This tweet reflects his criticism of spending on international programs.
